Description Joshua N Pritikin 2007-05-02 15:17:40 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Whenever I change the state of 
AC power (on or off), then I see a sensible battery status (66% charged 
or whatever). A few seconds later, however, it reverts back to "No 
battery present." and always shows "System is running on AC power" even 
when the AC power is disconnected.



Steps to reproduce:
Acer TravelMate 2310 + Gnome 2.18

Actual results:
As described above.

Expected results:
I should see the battery charge%.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Comment 2 André Klapper 2020-11-06 19:55:30 UTC
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-applets/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
